media i enjoy (likely my favorites)

most of these things are things that have been influential onto my life in some way shape or form, be it as a young angsty teen or a slightly older angsty 20-something-year-old. but also, maybe not? who knows, maybe i just like it and wanted to put it on here. i get to put whatever i want here with no rhyme or reason. this is my website, begone!
